Research, the mo ing scattered notes and information into a smooth, finished, and understandable report. This took weeks of intense , and the following ten best men were segregated h ults of the previous debates: work from the group by t e res John ' L d r- Leary, Carl Landegger, Tom Dillon, Jerry ou e back, Jim Coleman, James Daly, Mike Rodney, Richard Smith, Arthur Anderson, and Dave Buckley, Out of these t n b an elimination process, John Leary and Carl Lan- 9 1 Y degger were chosen to represent Iona in outside compe- tition.

,A-,.,c. VR OF ALL the activities in Iona, no other group works more diligently than the lona Senior Band. Directed by Mr. Joseph Focazio, in charge ot the music department for the past six years, the band has rapidly developed into the well organized Forward4March unit it is today. At the beginning ofthe present school year Mr, Focazio was handicapped in his work by a shortage of material, due to the graduation ot many key performers the previous June. However, several promising newcomers helped to till the de- pleted ranks and the situation took on a brighter aspect. Richard Geiger Joseph Focaz io, Irectnr D' K 125
